Grounders – “Grand Prize Drawl”from Wreck Of A Smileout now on Bandcamp
There’s a majestic feel to “Grand Prize Drawl.” The guitars jangle and chirp. The vocals are awash with reverb, and the entire composition has a feeling of community behind it. This five-piece act out of Toronto pack a quick wallop on this EP. No rope a dope here, as this is an easy pick.

Technicolor Teeth – “Chrystalline”from Teenage Pagans
out 3 December on Rough Trade
Grungie, psychedelic lo-fi stuff that will make you want to throw the chairs around the house and wonder later why you have so much kindling around. Medulla Oblongata says, “Me likey!”

The Royales
“Keeping Everyday Alive”
“Leave Me Something”from The Royales (EP)out now
The Royales are out of Brisbane, where they are tearing up the club scene. The tracks from their self-titled EP are for all you indie pop loving, ass shakers. Sounds like Australia’s answer to The Killers with a little Two Door Cinema Club to keep you moving.—The Royales – “Keeping Everyday Alive”
